Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup chopped spinach fresh or frozen, drained
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • ¼ cup sour cream or mayo
  • ½ cup mozzarella cheese shredded
  • ¼ cup parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 12 –15 wonton wrappers or mini phyllo shells
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Step 1: Prep the Spinach
  1. If using frozen spinach, thaw it completely and squeeze out all the excess water. You don’t want soggy cups!
    For fresh spinach, sauté it quickly until wilted and let it cool before chopping.
Step 2: Make the Filling
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine:
  2. 1 cup chopped spinach
  3. 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
  4. ¼ cup sour cream or mayo
  5. ½ cup shredded mozzarella
  6. ¼ cup grated parmesan
  7. 1 minced garlic clove
  8. Salt and pepper to taste
  9. Mix until everything is creamy and well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed — I usually sneak a little extra cheese.
Step 3: Prepare the Cups
  1. If using wonton wrappers, press them gently into a greased mini muffin pan to form cups.
  2. If using phyllo shells, they’re usually pre-shaped and ready to go.
Step 4: Fill & Bake
  1. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of filling into each cup. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the filling is bubbling.
Step 5: Serve Warm
  1. Let them cool slightly before serving (they’ll be piping hot inside!).
